Chapter 4, Chapter 4: Bai Huahua: I woke up too fast, I need to sleep some more...
In fact, Bai Lan was not entirely ignorant of Jing Yuan.
There are many ways to determine a person's origins; their name, their language, and even their every move can be a starting point.
Bai Lan knew that Jing Yuan had intricate connections with that mysterious ancient Eastern country, but she didn't know much more.
Unlike Italy, it was far too difficult for Bai Lan to extend his reach into the Flower Kingdom. Therefore, even in a parallel world, Bai Lan was unable to find any information about Jing Yuan.
This is really strange.
Jing Yuan's strength is extremely powerful. He knows very well that he is no match for Jing Yuan, which makes him even more puzzled. It is impossible for such a powerful guy as Jing Yuan to have no news from the inner world.
After several tests, he realized that Jing Yuan had no hostility towards him or the Italian Mafia. Even if he really disliked the Mafia, he would not attack them unless someone being hunted by the Mafia asked him for help.
That's how Rokudo Mukuro met Keigen.
On one side is the infamous Mafia, and on the other side is a boy being used as an experimental subject by the Mafia. Jingyuan will naturally choose to protect the boy behind him and deal with the Mafia who are chasing after him.
If the people chasing Rokudo Mukuro were just ordinary Mafia members, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but it turned out they were from the Avengers Prison that day.
As the maintainers of order within the Italian Mafia, the strength of the Avengers Prison is undeniable; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to keep a group of thugs obedient. However, even this powerful Avengers Prison couldn't gain the upper hand against Jing Yuan, and even suffered numerous casualties.
Bai Lan enjoys gossip and watching the drama unfold, so when she heard the news of the Avengers Prison's disastrous defeat, she immediately rushed to the front lines to take a look.
Hmm, this guy is really good-looking, and he's white-haired just like him. Bai Lan's affection for Jing Yuan immediately increased several notches.
After talking for a while, Bai Lan found Jing Yuan to be a very interesting person. Being with him was never boring, and even just chatting made him very happy.
So, Byakuran extended an invitation to Jingyuan: "Would you like to join the Millefiore family?"
And unsurprisingly, I was rejected.
Byakuran wasn't angry and continued to maintain friendly relations with Keigen. However, as Rokudo Mukuro's retaliation against the Mafia intensified, Byakuran had to regard Keigen as a potential enemy, after all, this man was far too doting on children.
Therefore, just in case, Bai Lan once again investigated Jing Yuan's origins and background.
Judging from his protection of Rokudo Mukuro and other experimental subjects, as well as his dislike of the Mafia, Jingyuan should belong to the "bright" side, and may even be related to the government.
Jingyuan's ability belongs to a different power system than the Dying Will Flame, but it is not a Stand user or a special ability either. As for curse power, it is completely unrelated. Could he be someone from the shamanic world?
As far as he knew, there was a mysterious Taoist sect in the spirit world, whose current leader, Dao Lian, possessed terrifying lightning power. Moreover, the Taoist sect had always maintained close ties with the government, and Jing Yuan might have come from this family. However, Bai Lan had also come into contact with people in the spirit world, and it was clear that Jing Yuan's power was completely different from the witchcraft used in the spirit world.
Thinking of this, Bai Lan felt a dull ache in her temples.
The main reason is that his main world is completely different from other parallel worlds. Apart from the Death Flame, those parallel worlds do not have any other system of power, and the governments of various countries do not have any powerful strength to stop his world-destroying behavior. Even Alcobaleno, who is known as the top combat power in the Mafia world, was easily killed by the 73 Ray. The Avengers Prison did not say a word and let Byakuran do whatever he wanted.
Now, besides the Dying Will Flame, all sorts of supernatural ability users, Stand users, psychics, and magicians are emerging one after another. Ah, the reason I didn't mention jutsu masters is because jutsu masters basically only exist in Japan, unlike other ability systems that are more widespread.
Compared to parallel worlds, the world he lives in is too strange.
Especially when he woke up one day five years ago and found that the literary giants who used to live in textbooks had disappeared, and in their place was the birth of the superpowered world.
Yes, those literary giants became superpowered individuals. Not only that, they also sparked a war among superpowered individuals, and Yokohama, Japan, even seceded from the city during this war.
How should I put it? More than the battle between superpowered individuals, Byakuran is concerned about the fact that literature in this world is dying, and who will save it?
Later, he also probed the people around him and found that, apart from him, no one else had noticed the disappearance of the literature or the sudden appearance of the superpowered person.
This was so strange, it was as if two unrelated worlds had suddenly been mixed together. Byakuran desperately wanted to know the reason.
Later, information about Stand users, psychics, magicians, and sorcerers was added to his mind. Meanwhile, in the real world, various forces were running rampant, causing him to question the meaning of life for a moment.
It was at this moment that Jing Yuan came into his view.
He had actually grown accustomed to the daily routine of a new power system suddenly appearing every year or two, and Jing Yuan hadn't made him feel that things were any different from before, until that day—
He was drinking with Jingyuan when a subordinate came over to report that someone from Yokohama had come to discuss cooperation.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but what was the name of the person the Mafia sent from the port?" Jing Yuan suddenly asked.
Although the subordinate found it strange, he had personally witnessed how Jingyuan had brutally beaten the people in the Avengers Prison, so he dared not ask any more questions or hide anything. He honestly replied, "Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya."
Bai Lan was quite certain that when Jing Yuan heard those two names, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, which made him wonder.
Then he heard Jing Yuan ask again, "Is the height difference between the two of them very obvious?"
“Yes, Mr. Jingyuan. That boy named Dazai Osamu is clearly much taller than Nakahara Chuuya,” the subordinate replied.
"Oh~" Jingyuan gave a meaningful smile, "Does Nakahara Chuuya wear a hat?"
The subordinate replied, "Yes, a black top hat."
Jingyuan was already quite amused.
After dismissing her subordinates, Bai Lan squeezed the cotton candy in her hand and asked in a somewhat casual tone, "Do you know those two?"
"I wouldn't say I know them personally, I've just heard their names," Jing Yuan said with a smile.
"Have you only heard of their names?" Bai Lan didn't ignore Jing Yuan's question. "You seem to know them very well."
"Aren't you the same?" Jing Yuan asked with a smile.
Lowering her eyelashes to conceal the fierceness in her eyes, Bai Lan raised her eyes again and revealed her usual sweet smile: "Because we are both Mafia, we are naturally very familiar with each other."
“Yes, after all, the Mafia’s circle is only so big,” Jing Yuan said with a smile.
Seeing Jingyuan's expression that seemed to say, "It's normal for me to know about the situation in Japan since the kids in my family take it upon themselves to eliminate the Mafia," Byakuran couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
lie.
Byakuran was certain that Keigen's understanding of Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya was definitely not something he heard from Rokudo Mukuro, even though Rokudo Mukuro had been relentlessly attacking the Mafia like a mad dog.
He was persecuted by the Italian Mafia, so what does it have to do with the Japanese Mafia? Rokudo Mukuro had no reason to make more enemies for himself.
Do you possess the same power as me?
Are you one of my kind?
Bai Lan could no longer hold back and finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.
“It’s a pity I don’t have that ability,” Jing Yuan replied. “I just happened to have seen their works in other worlds before coming to this world.”
"You're not from this world?" Bai Lan raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Yes.” Jing Yuan rested his chin on his hand and looked at him with a smile. “I’m an alien, here for a visit.”
Bai Lan: "...Are you telling a lame joke?"
The originally very serious and solemn art style vanished without a trace because of Jingyuan's words.
"No, not at all," Jing Yuan said with a smile. "I'm telling the truth, and I'm not only an alien, but also a celestial warrior!"
Bai Lan: "..."
"Do you think I'd believe that?" Bai Lan's smile vanished, her usually ambiguous purple eyes turning frighteningly cold.
"Well, why not?" Jing Yuan said with a smile. "This world is mysterious enough as it is. It's not unbelievable that there's another alien like me, is it?"
Jing Yuan is right. This world is indeed mysterious. For example, why do all the Cerberos look exactly alike? How were the Alcobaleno born? What is the origin of the pacifiers on their chests? And why are there so many different power systems in the same world?
But even so, aliens and celestial warriors...
"Isn't this absurd?" Bai Lan felt that Jing Yuan was just making fun of him.
